Citric acid salt is the powdered crystal form of citric acid and adds a sour tang to dishes in place of lemon juice. It is used as a preservative and souring agent in pickles, syrups, and preserves. Since it gives strong sourness in small amounts, it must be measured carefully.
Where It's Used
“Add a pinch of citric acid to the syrup to keep it from crystallizing.”
